Chasing 50-50 072518

This is the seventh year of my Chasing 50-50 segment. It started six seasons ago as we followed Matt Kemp the Dodgers in his self proclaimed attempt to hit 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases. The 2018 season is in week 17 and we'll check out those with the power\speed combo. Added Jose Ramirez of the Indians, Mookie Betts and Andrew Benintendi of the Red Sox, Javier Baez of the Cubs, Trevor Story of the Rockies, Didi Gregorius of the Yankees and Christian Yelich of the Marlins in week 13. As long as he is playing Kemp will always be part of this.
